Seasonal Timeline: What to Do Each Season
Spring — Plan & Prepare
Sketch a compact layout for containers and elevated beds. Choose flowering annuals and perennial cut flowers that thrive in urban microclimates. Start seeds indoors for quick success.
Summer — Harvest & Hydrate
Maintain moisture with layered mulch. Water early in the day to support vibrant blooms. Create simple, rustic arrangements using sun-loving florals.
Fall — Forage & Freeze
